Allow me to introduce you to one of the finest musicians I've ever heard- and he's only fourteen years old! I met the Schaumann family last year while we were attending the Wassenaar, Netherlands Branch. All of the children are sweet spirits are excellent musicians. Now Nathan has started a YouTube Channel where he posts covers of his favorite pop songs.

Here, he covers Coldplay's "Paradise" with his sister, Emily.

And in my favorite, he covers Sia's "Chandelier."

Do yourself a favor and give him a listen. I promise you'll love it. Then do ME a favor and "like" his Facebook page.

As of the first week of January, I have not completed artwork for the new song, "I Know That My Savior Loves Me." My son, MP, has Autism, ADHD, and severe anxiety which has been causing hallucinations. He hasn't been able to go to school and needs constant attention. If you can, please remember him in your prayers this fast Sunday. If we can get him back on his medication, I'll have much more time to devote to art. I may have a flip chart ready for next week, so check back if you haven't taught the song yet. Otherwise, enjoy the following ideas. Thanks for your service in this beautiful work!

As people all over the world make New Years Resolutions, you might want to make some with your Primary. Make and draw strips with the following resolutions and/or others you might think of. As the children draw a strip from the hat, read the resolution and see if they can think of one or more songs that relate. My suggestions are written below. At the end of Singing Time, ask the children to choose two or three of these resolutions to adopt as a group for 2015.
